A synthetic RNA editing factor edits its target site in chloroplasts and bacteria

RNA editing in plants is carried out by pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins. Royan et al construct an editing factor from synthetic PPR motifs and show that it can be expressed in plants and bacteria and edits the chosen target RNA with high specificity, demonstrating the potential of PPR protei...

Sumario:RNA editing in plants is carried out by pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins. Royan et al construct an editing factor from synthetic PPR motifs and show that it can be expressed in plants and bacteria and edits the chosen target RNA with high specificity, demonstrating the potential of PPR proteins as programmable RNA editing factors.
